Our collective goal is to effectively, efficiently, consistently and affordably empower ALL students with 21st century skills, that result in individual student, sustained performance improvement. Traditional teaching has not and will not effectively, efficiently, consistently and affordably empower individual students with the skill sets, that result in individual student, sustained performance improvement outcomes. Differentiated instruction, using professionally facilitated, educationally innovative software, in a flipped and blended learning environment, has been proven to effectively, efficiently, consistently and affordably advance individual student (at risk, traditional, gifted), deep, adaptive learning outcomes, that result in sustained individual student performance improvement outcomes.

4. What is the traditional approach to differentiated instruction?

Individual teachers implement varied, mixed methodologies within their classrooms (some research based , most NOT based in research). This usually involves some form of one size fits all teaching, teaching to individual learning styles, which has NOT been proven to advance individual learning outcomes and is not a recommended approach and some kind of technology, like tablets, that deliver one size fits all teaching to individual students, faster. They may, or may not, try something educationally innovative, while preserving the traditional one size fits all teaching model.

5. Why is the traditional approach not the best approach?

Quite simply, the traditional and/or the traditional mixed approach, has not and will never, effectively, efficiently, consistently and affordably, empower ALL individual students with 21st century, adaptive skill sets, that result in sustained individual performance improvement outcomes (see #2 above).

FYI: No current, credible, research supports maintaining traditional, one size fits all methodologies, nor does any current, credible, research support a mixed approach. Please let me know if you find current, research from credible sources supporting traditional paradigms.
